Compress Files in JPEG2000 Format

What is JPEG2000 Format?

JPEG2000, also known as JP2, is a format for storing image files and publishing them on the Web. JPEG2000 is a newer version of the more commonly known JPEG format; it was introduced in the year 2000. Both JPEG and JPEG2000 are compressed image file formats, which are useful for saving space, but have the drawback of reduced image quality. In addition, another problem is that JPEG2000 is not very widespread, and so this poses a problem when sending files to be opened on other computers.
